[polybuffer~ @embed 1] does not bang on load
Jun 15 2013 | 4:00 am
I suspect this is intentional, but I believe it would be helpful if when the embed attribute is set to 1 the polybuffer~ object can still output a bang from its right outlet when load into ram is completed.
At the moment it does not output anything; as a consequence my patch does not know when the embedded files have been loaded. I therefore have to resort to manual loading of a folder.
Is there a reason for this behaviour?

Using loadbang should be sufficient.The main reason for this behavior is that the sound files are loaded in polybuffer~ when the patcher is instantiated, the outlets and connections of the polybuffer~ may or may not exists. Note that the behavior is consistent with buffer~.

That all makes good sense.So, if embed is set, I need to know if the polybuffer~ files will be fully loaded _before_ the dump message is sent (from a loadbang or loadmess), even if it's loading lots of mp3 files. Or does that not matter? (does it just retain the information, so load time is not an issue?)here's a patch to illustrate:
